gdb

I develop C++ applications in a Linux environment. The tools I use every day include Eclipse with the CDT plugin, gdb and valgrind.
What tools do other people use? Is there anything out there for Linux that rivals the slickness of Microsoft Visual Studio?

Hello,
I have a ARM11 based hardware board which runs a Linux kernel ver. 2.6.21.5-cfs-v19. I have my application running on this ARM-LINUX board. To do sourlce level debugging, of my application i used to use gdb from command prompt of the linux board, that was with some earlier version of the board linux version.
With this version ...

I am running an application through gdb and I want to set a breakpoint for any time a specific variable is accessed / changed. Is there a good method for doing this? I would also be interested in other ways to monitor a variable in C/C++ to see if/when it changes.

Hello,
I am trying to build gdb for armv6 architecture. I will be compiling this package on a Fedora Linux-Intel x86 box. I read the process of installing the gdb , like
1.) Download the source pachage
2.) run configure -host
3.) make
But i got lost in the process because i was not able to make out what will be the host , target, n...

I would like to debug an embedded system containing gdb remotely using some kind of gui (ie like ddd). The embedded system does not have the sources or build symbols. However my local x windows box has. However the execution must happen on the embedded system. How can I from my development box drive gdb remotely with some gui ?

When you're doing a usual gdb session on an executable file on the same computer, you can give the run command and it will start the program over again.
When you're running gdb on an embedded system, as with the command target localhost:3210', how do you start the program over again without quitting and restarting your gdb session?

Briefly: Does anyone know of a GUI for gdb that brings it on par or close to the feature set you get in the more recent version of Visual C++?
In detail: As someone who has spent a lot of time programming in Windows, one of the larger stumbling blocks I've found whenever I have to code C++ in Linux is that debugging anything using comm...

I have a core file generated on a remote system that I don't have direct access to. I also have local copies of the library files from the remote system, and the executable file for the crashing program.
I'd like to analyse this core dump in gdb.
For example:
gdb path/to/executable path/to/corefile
My libraries are in the current d...

When writing C/C++ code, in order to debug the binary executable the debug option must be enabled on the compiler/linker. In the case of GCC, the option is -g. When the debug option is enabled, how does the affect the binary executable? What additional data is stored in the file that allows the debugger function as it does?

I'm trying to automate a gdb session using the --command flag. I'm trying to set a breakpoint on a function in a shared library (the Unix equivalent of a DLL) . My cmds.gdb looks like this:
set args /home/shlomi/conf/bugs/kde/font-break.txt
b IA__FcFontMatch
r
However, I'm getting the following:
shlomi:~/progs/bugs-external/kde/font...

What does it mean when it gives a backtrace with the following output?

I've a fairly huge .gdbinit (hence not copied here) in my home directory.
Now if I want to debug code inside Xcode I get this error:
Failed to load debugging library at:
